aarshvoraEver since I've graduated from film school, I've written a bunch of feature films for a bunch of production houses all over the city. However, due to a million reasons, till today none of them have ever actually started shooting. In early Feb, Melbourne ka Indian Batman
@mtapas offered me a small, indie passion project made by a bunch of friends about a bunch of friends embarking on a road trip across Australia. It was his first film. Something that he has been working on since the last 4 years. And something he's invested a lot more than just his time in. Without a second thought, I agreed to write the film in an instant.
Why?
Because of his vibe. His intentions. His sensibilities. His approach. His passion. His sheer talent. And his amazing close knit team (or should I say family?) consisting of the ever so vibrant, energetic and crime master jugaadu
@rohan_shah_ , the uber cool, MaKaBo and New York khichdi and self proclaimed legend who only dresses in monochrome
@kishansavjani , the ever so adorable, ultra hyper, Malad ki Mary Jane
@palakjain786 and apna Diljeet meets Don Torreto
@aman_99frames . Their energy, never say die attitude, sheer persistence and faith has to be witnessed to be believed. In an industry full of cynics and haters, their optimism and enthusiasm is truly inspiring. To add to it, they've got a super fun, super duper talented, ultra chilled out crop of actors
@tusharsharma16 @crimrinal @ashanegi and
@manasi_moghe .
Writing this film was the single most fun and satisfying professional gig I've ever been a part of. And the film starts shooting today. To be honest, I can't contain my excitement. Serious FOMO is kicking in and I wish I was there with you guys in Melbourne to see the first shot getting okay'd. It's not everyday you get to write such an honest, personal film with people who have such relentless energy, such dedication, such passion and such sheer guts! The fact that you'll have gotten this far is no easy feat and I'm so proud of each and every one of you'll.
Best of luck guys.
Make a kickass f**king film.
You don't have a choice anyway.
